About Me

I love to stamp, and I have a supportive husband and two sweet daughters. I've been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator since July 2006, and what "addicted" me to stamping was my love for Stamping Challenges. My favorite Stampin' Up! event is having class on the first Thursday of each month, and I have a Stamp A Stack, scrapbooking class or Stamp Camp typically quarterly. I'd be happy to do a workshop for you and your friends as well!

The content of my blog is my responsibility as an independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator. My classes and services are not endorsed by Stampin' Up! any more or less than any other demonstrator's classes and services nor are they a product available through Stampin' Up!

Patterned Occasions

As you can see, the card pieces are exactly the same no matter which focal image you choose, so you just need to say Patterned Occasions to choose any of these four cards or the "whole latte love" sentiment.

Club and Class will be Thursday, April 4, at 6:30 p.m. or Friday, April 5, at 12:15 p.m….unless you’d like to bring your lunch and eat with us at noon-we’d all love to see you at noon if you’d like.$10 for 4 projects, Free for 6 month/$25 stamp club members or with a $50 order, Only $5 with a $25 order...

Please let me know if you are coming since I need to cut your projects for you in advance.

The first card will be this sponged Swallowtail card. It was designed by Maggie Patterson (from Creative Convention online)..I added the punched sentiment to make it less stressful for you all to place the sentiment.

If you attended Connie's party, you might prefer to make this card in these colors for a change/instead. :)

I've had this idea for a long time and have just been waiting until closer to April to make the card...The bow makes this card pretty thick, so you may want a knot instead if you plan to mail it. :)

Blowing "HAPPY" wishes your way with a cute little Pinwheel...I happened upon a fun little card by Cindy H. on Splitcoast that was perfect for our Class next week...so I CASEd it with just a change in the stamps and papers. I used the Designer Typeset Photopolymer set's pennant and the Pinwheel sizzlet and Wishes your Way sentiment. Add Sunshine and Sprinkles dsp and...all done!

I went to Splitcoaststampers to see if there were any sketches for the next Stamp A Stack and found this was today's sketch, SC429 ! I had already created the hydrangea focal image on Stampin' Up!'s new Canvas Creations (It's like stamping on firm linen.), so I went with it. :)

I think you'll enjoy coloring this image with blender pens. It would make a decent Mother's Day card too.

I have 8 of each project ready, so I hope you will all join me!

First up is this matchbook-like card with the Feeling Sentimental Sale-A-Bration set. You can leave the inside blank or add "Happy Birthday". It is perfect for adding a gift card too.

We'll make this Fancy Favor bag and embellishment using the Pop-Up Posies Designer Kit from page 18 of the Spring Catalog. Some of the flowers are Calypso Coral.

I believe the original idea for this banner punching was by Melinda Jane Spinks...I used different dsp and chose to add bling to this birthday card.

Our Easter card for this year features the Sunshine and Sprinkles dsp as well as the Everybunny Stamp set from the BIG/Main Stampin' Up! Catalog. It is a modified spinner card that I found on my friend, Sara's blog here: http://lilyinkpad.blogspot.com/2012/12/hoppin-into-spring.html and virtually CASEd because the oval framelits are perfect eggs, don't you think?
